Devin has been busy designing the remaining paper pieces for the wedding. We really appreciate all of the work she has been putting into these designs!!!
Now we don't want to give too much away, by explaining all she has been creating. Let's just say there are a few small, and a few not so small paper pieces that will incorporated into nearly every aspect of the wedding weekend.
The not so small ones are obvious so I'll let you in on those. The Table Identification, and Seating Assignments are in the works, but those will have to wait to be finalized when we get the head count for the RSVPs.
OK that is all the detail you are getting, at least for now!

Ohio Shower Weekend
I know Christie, Mom-Godward, and all of the Aunts have been working hard to prepare for the Ohio Bridal Shower :) We are excited to see everyone and are looking forward to a fun shower.
It is a Godward family tradition that the Bride and Groom answer questions at the shower. Thom and I were just brainstorming what questions we might be asked, and are a little nervous of how well we will answer.
Thom and I have been coordinating the logistics for the Ohio Bridal Shower this weekend. Mom and Dad-Ross, Dev, and Jax are coming down to Youngstown on Friday afternoon. I will be leaving work a little early so Thom and I can get down to Youngstown with time to visit with everyone and enjoy some local pizza!
We also had to consider what vehicle we will be going down in, to make sure we have room for the gifts on the trip back home. :) Not a bad problem to have :) Then we figured if we had to, we could send Mom and Dad-Ross home with a few things.

Cake Server
Here is a fun fact: The cutting of the cake is such a big deal at weddings because it symbolizes the Bride and Groom's first task as a married couple and sharing the benefits of that task when they feed each other the cake.
Thom and I are going to borrow my Grandma Mae's silver cake server. She was explaining to me that this silver was given to her by my Grandpa's (her husband's) Mother. Yeah its been around awhile.
I got the server from Grandma today, its very nice and will work great at the reception. Good thing I asked if she had any silver polish to go along with it, because we don't have any of that in this house. We want it shining pretty for the big "task" as a married couple.

Details...
Thom and I have been busy working on tons of little details... We split all of the items up into To Do Lists.
Now the details are exactly the things we are trying to keep secret from all of your Blogers to save some surprises for the big event. Keeping that in mind, I will try to explain what we are busy with, without giving too much away.
We are trying to find candles and candle holders for the Unity Candle. We are planning to use my Grandma and Grandpa Ross' crystal candle holders for the two individual candles. We still need to find a matching holder for the center candle, which I hope I have one that works buried in a closet.
We are searching for awesome gifts for our Bridal Party! Thom and I both think we have good ideas, now we just need to make those ideas happen :)
I am trying to finalize what we are doing for guest favors.
Thom is working on his wedding ring.
We are trying to figure out what, if anything, our guests will throw when we exit the church.
We are getting crazy details (crazy because I never thought we would be spending time on small things like this) like what is the napkin size is and what will the size be when its folded.
But we know working on these details is totally going to make our wedding AWESOME!!!

Ceremony Planning and The Program
Thom and I sat down on Monday to work on the ceremony planning, and we continued working on it last night too. We have decided on our readings, and filled in the template for Uncle Eddie to use at the ceremony. We chose all of the music and got all the details we needed from Linda. And we added in a few Methodist parts to the ceremony. You will of course have to wait for the Big Day for the rest of the wonderful details.
After we got the ceremony plans figured out, we started editing the Ceremony Program... Thom and I are creating the program because we wanted to surprise Devin :) Since we are two detailed orientated Engineers it is turning into quite the process :)
I created the first drafts of the program, but since we have made more detailed plans for the ceremony, Thom has been taken the lead on editing the program! I gotta give him credit for being such a big help!!!
